why do people give thumbs down for telling experiences they have had?

I've noticed that people always give me a thumbs down (or more) when I talk about my experiences thus far in my pregnancy...I honestly think its from people who want to be pregnant but aren't. Because typically when I discuss my experiences to someone the question calls for it and everyone else has thumbs downs too....People are just cranky and power tripping with their right to thumbs down. It makes no sense but whatever....i thumbs down when I don't believe the answer applies to the question or is wrong. It kinda makes me laugh when I get thumbs downed when I am correct though. Oh well Congrats on being so close to the finish line by the way :o)

I agree with you completely! I think people just do it because they don't agree with someone's choice - like if someone asks about epidurals and someone says they had one and loved it - people who want natural child birth for themselves give them thumbs down. It's really silly.

This is why I'm spending more times on a supportive message board like Just Mommies and less on Yahoo Answers. A lot of the people annoy me on here..

I know! Some people are just ridiculous. It drives me crazy. A lot of times its trolls and stuff like that but some people will give you a thumbs down just for sharing what happened to you! I don't get it..

I bet a bunch of answers to this question get thumbs downs!

Some people are ridiculous. I once got thumbs down when someone asked what week everyone found out the sex of their babies...I happen to find out VERY early at 13 weeks(it was confirmed later on a 23 weeks) that I'm having a boy. People think b/c it didn't happen that way for them, it's impossible for you.

That is me. I provide every body thumbs down, even humans I trust. I identical to to make humans irritated. Just kidding, I do not suppose you're going to get many humans who will admit it.

I don't think there is much of a reason. I think people are bored. Don't take it personally.

Incidentally --- you will most likely notice that a lot of people who answer this question will get thumbs down. I've asked similar questions before and it seems to attract the "thumbs down fairies"

gq: if you only knew :) lol....

I also get TD for everything no matter what it is.. and I only speak on things that I've been through and have experience or I have looked up and have a source for.. other wise I don't answer.

I think based on your own answers, it's because they're jealous.. I know I'm jealous I wish I didn't have it bad lol. But I don't TD anyone unless it looks like they were all cracked out when they answered..

lol This irritates me too. Someone asked about implantation bleeding and what their experience was with it because they wanted to know if they could be experiencing it also. I said I had spotting for 3 days beginning on the exact date I was to start my period so I assumed I wasn't pregnant, but turned out I was. I got thumbs downed for that.

How can you thumbs down someone's life experience? I was also given more than one thumbs down for telling women how I overcame infertility related to PCOS. Wtf? I'm trying to help by sharing what worked for me!

Don't take it personally girl they do it to me all the time. Some people just don't like what others have to say. It really doesn't matter. Don't take it to heart.

I agree. I keep getting thumbs down for the same reason!
